This Hump Day’s Hiatus

And it’s a good one. But really, aren’t they all? Here’s the inspiration for this hiatus: a study published in Psychological Science found that any smile, including a fake smile, decreases stress. The study measured smiles so completely fake (you’re going to smile when you read this) that they weren’t even made by study participants themselves: in some cases researchers …

Shanghai in 5 Minutes

When we buy products made in China, this is where our money is going. And this is what they’re doing with it. Pretty impressive. It’s this week’s Hump Day Hiatus. Enjoy full screen! Guangzhou’2012/CHINA from zweizwei |motion timelapse| on Vimeo.

We’re Going to Ho Chi Minh City

It’s Hump Day, so it’s time for a break. Let’s go to what used to be called Saigon, and as a bonus, everyone who watches this will get profound new respect for how smooth and orderly the traffic flows in [fill in the blank for your city, or the city you think has horrendous traffic]. I don’t think they believe …

One Big Hole Hump Day Hiatus

I have dug several holes in my life (literally and figuratively). Some of them were pretty big, but none of them ever turned out quite this spectacular.

It’s Wednesday!!!

Obviously that means it’s time for this week’s Hump Day Hiatus. Today our refreshing videocation takes us to Rio de Janeiro and Carnival. Those people know how to throw a parade. Holy cow. If you like the Rose Parade or Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade – spoiler alert – the very best floats in those parades are going to look pathetic …

Truly EPIC Hiatus

If you’re a loyal fan of these Wednesday excursions, you are about to see one of the finest. Yes, there have been a few surfing videos on previous Wednesdays, but this one tops them all. What’s our fascination with surfing? If you’re subliminally trying to encourage people to be active, to get out and do something (as we are), you …

One magical hiatus

You may never see a more captivating look at a city than what you’re about to watch. Take a city – Singapore – with some spectacular architecture to begin with, then add the special effects of tilt-shift photography. It makes everything look like it was designed by the world’s best model train set designer. What is real looks fake. What …

It is Hump Day.

Time for a brief little hiatus to get us over the hump and off to the rest of the week with a fresh start. This, ladies and gentlemen, is a work of art, visually and aurally. Savor it. We Were Wanderers On A Prehistoric Earth from James W Griffiths on Vimeo.

Take a Hump Day hiatus

Remember the epic family road trips of yesteryear? Pack everybody into a station wagon with no AC and burn up a thousand miles or so, even though gas was an astronomical 29 cents a gallon. When it was all over, Mom would compile a bunch of curled black & white snapshots into a photo album never again to see the …

Hiatus, Hump Day
